Dental Jewelry: Frequently Asked Questions

Joyas dentales: Las preguntas más frecuentes
  • Will dental jewelry damage my tooth?

Dental jewelry will not damage or harm the tooth as long as the professional uses good placement practices and quality materials.

  • Can I remove my dental jewelry when I no longer want it?

Ideally, it should fall out naturally; however, dental jewelry is 100% removable. It will always be removed by a dental professional to avoid causing damage to the tooth surface.

  • How long will my dental jewelry last on my tooth?

Dental jewelry can last from a few weeks to a year or more, depending on the placement of the product by the professional and your care, lifestyle, pH, acidic saliva, bruxism, among other factors.

  • Does the placement process cause any pain?

It is a completely painless and non-invasive process.

  • How long does the dental jewelry placement process take?

In about 15 minutes you will have your dental jewel placed.

  • Can I brush my teeth normally?

Of course, 12 hours after inserting the dental implant, if you use a regular toothbrush (48 hours if you use an electric toothbrush), you can and should maintain regular oral hygiene. The implant is a new surface in your mouth, and plaque and dirt can accumulate on it.

  • What happens if the jewel falls and I swallow it?

All of our jewelry is lead-free, nickel-free, and free of sharp edges, so it's absolutely fine if you swallow it. You'll eventually pass it naturally.

  • Can I have my teeth cleaned and whitened with the jewelry in my tooth?

You can get your teeth cleaned without any problems. The area underneath the dental jewel is sealed like a filling, so it won't let any bacteria in.

If you have teeth whitening or use whitening strips, keep in mind that the lower part of the jewelry will not receive the treatment.
